Abstract

This paper starts a theoretical reflection about the need to think of learning as granting students new ways to connect with their worlds, and their selves. From a sociocultural framework we see that learning goes together with identity development, as it leads to new ways of understanding, and of acting, mobilised by what is learnt. Our study case is based on a course of Applied Anatomy, from which we will draw to illustrate our discussion. The interest of this experience is in how students are involved in their respective learning processes, engaging in critic reflections on what they learnt, and on their selves. Together with the paradigmatic type of thinking that traverses the program of this subject, we find new ways of organising reality in which art and students’ interests are included. The narrative construction of meanings, and a reflective dialogicality, lead to a type of learning that brings new ways of perceiving and acting, both in relation to the world and to their selves. In this way learning mobilises meanings that go further than a biological body, reaching even beyond the scenic arts towards which this subject is orientated.
